“you can’t be proven- you’re just sensation you’re too outside and cannot touch my cerebrospinal fluid. I could close my eyes and I could wake up and you could be just probes that the aliens have placed inside of my skull. I can’t prove you- what is scientific testimony it’s just letters and numbers figures and factors and why should I want to prove you? you spiny thorny being- you make my hands bleed when I hold you the ancient Greeks gave me an excuse to dispel you as myth and lick my leaking wounds So I Will. dismiss you as not existing I think therefore I, only, am.” (Darling, I’d all but swim in fluid if you let me).
